One possible 3rd party workaround is to use [scrolling capture](https://www.techsmith.com/learn/tutorials/snagit/scrolling-capture/) and [printer as a share destination with capture presets (windows)](https://www.techsmith.com/blog/?post_type=tutorial&p=145411). Obviously you need to capture in light theme to avoid printing with black background. I think scrolling capture is good thing to have in general since you can easily print or capture any custom range on the fly. If page braking control is desired then this FR integrates Word, Pages etc nicely with Obsidian: [Copy-and-paste rendered version (no markdown) from the editor](https://forum.obsidian.md/t/copy-and-paste-rendered-version-no-markdown-from-the-editor/74252). We all love to use Word/Pages so the said integration will happen sooner or later.
